FF: The Pebble Watch

I love watches and gizmos. The Pebble is a combination of both – a watch that works with your smartphone to pass along all manner of fun information on the go. One step closer to the promise Dick Tracy made us all those years ago.

About the Pebble watch: “Pebble is the first watch built for the 21st century. It’s infinitely customizable, with beautiful downloadable watch faces and useful internet-connected apps. Pebble connects to iPhone and Android smartphones using Bluetooth, alerting you with a silent vibration to incoming calls, emails and messages. While designing Pebble, we strove to create a minimalist yet fashionable product that seamlessly blends into everyday life.”

FF: Issi Tumblers

I also love my barware (almost as much as what I put in it) and I think the Issi Tumblers I found at Teroforma are really cool – like wine glasses without the stems.

About Issi Tumblers: “Mouthblown non-lead crystal tumbler employs the S-curve theme of the Issi series to a functional effect. The tulip-shaped rim makes a unique aesthetic statement while also accentuating the sweetness of the beverage inside. Dishwasher safe.”

FF: Caskers Fine Spirits Service

To fill said glasses there is Caskers, a great service that will send you hard-to-find craft spirits to members. That means small batch bourbon and the like sent right to your door! Where do I sign up?
